I've been talking to the baws in FBD threads about it for years, and it's finally happening. Girlfriend got her offer letter today (I work remote) and we're going to put Chicago in the rearview mirror. The people in charge who hate me, my tax money, and my law abiding ways can have it...build your progressive utopia.

She's starting at the end of January and will head out before me. I'm staying back for a bit to get the condo listed, get the movers figured, and pack everything up. I should be down there around the beginning of March.

Already a member of the Charleston Badgers group on Facebook, already researching fishing charters and golf courses, and potentially applying for an apartment tonight. Gonna stay downtown somewhere with a pool so we can enjoy the scene and culture our first year down there, make some friends, and get the lay of the land. Maybe purchase something in a few years when home prices bottom out.

I'm now a CofC hoops fan and Clemson football fan, but probably need to make some adjustments to my wardrobe. Already annoyed at all the OSU fans in town.

Charleston baws, anything I need to know about assimilating, let's hear it.

Wait what?

Charleston is really high on my travel list. Only about a 6 hour drive.

Midwesterners pretty much outnumber native South Carolinians down here nowadays, so you should feel right at home.

ETA: Also vote red and we’re cool.

I left Chicago for the utopia of Memphis. I consider it a draw.

I can't wait to move to a utopia. If it weren't for family we'd leave now, I'd leave now anyway but the wife has strong bonds.

Congrats? What part of Chicago are you leaving? Suburbs or Chicago proper?

When you and the misses are reunited, take her to the Chubby Fish for a nice meal. Charleston and the surrounding areas up and down the coast are great. Chubby Fish

Congrats on being warmer, wealthier, and safer. The south is the only place worth living in this country.

I always used to joke with my buddies about how big of a Clemson fan I am because 1) I bought a discount Clemson tervis so we could drink on the beach on Sullivan's and 2) because I've wanted to move there for years.

Badgers will remain number one for me until further notice.
